Article 3 Parameters to determine the ‘cargo carried’ per ship category

‘Cargo carried’ for the purpose of monitoring of other relevant information on a per-voyage basis pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, shall be determined as follows:

1. (a)

   for oil tankers, as the mass of the cargo on board;

2. (b)

   for chemical tankers, as the mass of the cargo on board;

3. (c)

   for LNG carriers, as the volume of the cargo on discharge, or if the cargo is discharged at several occasions during a voyage, the sum of the cargo discharged during a voyage and the cargo discharged at all subsequent ports of call until new cargo is loaded;

4. (d)

   for gas carriers, as the mass of the cargo on board;

5. (e)

   for bulk carriers, as the mass of the cargo on board;

6. (f)

   for general cargo ships, as deadweight carried for laden voyages and as zero for ballast voyages;

7. (g)

   for refrigerated cargo ships, as the mass of the cargo on board;

8. (h)

   for vehicle carriers, as the mass of the cargo on board, determined as the actual mass or as the number of cargo units or occupied lane meters multiplied by default values for their weight;

9. (i)

   for combination carriers, as the mass of the cargo on board;

10. (j)

    for ro-pax ships, as the number of passengers and as the mass of the cargo on board, determined as the actual mass or the number of cargo units (trucks, cars, etc.) or occupied lane meters multiplied by default values for their weight;

11. (k)

    for container/ro-ro cargo ships, as the volume of the cargo on board, determined as the sum of the number of cargo units (cars, trailers, trucks and other standard units) multiplied by a default area and by the height of the deck (the distance between the floor and the structural beam), of the number of occupied lane-metres multiplied by the height of the deck (for other ro-ro cargo) and of the number of TEUs multiplied by 38,3 m³;

12. (l)

    for other ship types not falling under any of the categories mentioned in points (a) to (k) nor under those in points (d), (e) and (f) of paragraph 1 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2015/757, as mass of cargo on board or as deadweight carried for laden voyages and zero for ballast voyages.

For the purposes of point (f) of the first paragraph, the mass of the cargo on board can be used on a voluntary basis as an additional parameter.

For the purposes of point (h) of the first paragraph, deadweight carried for laden voyages and zero for ballast voyages can be used on a voluntary basis as an additional parameter.
